User manual CATERPILLAR PS150C HW BROCHURE

[. . . ] Durable Cat powertrain, field-proven hydraulic Systems and the world's largest and most dedicated dealer support system ensure the PS150C Asphalt Compactors will provide maximum utilization. 2 Visibility The one-piece sloped hood design provides exceptional operator visibility to the rear of the machine for improved safety. The sloped water tank also provides good visibility to the front of the machine. An optional MVP control console rotates to three different positions, left, right or center and allows the operator to view the front tire contact points. [. . . ] Maximum weight per wheel of 1920 kg (4, 220 lb) provides increased ground contact pressures for thick lifts and harsh mixes. ballast (optional) provides an additional 6168 kg (13 , 600 lb) of steel ballast for increased versatility. Load compensating valves provide increased torque to the propel motors for working on grades and on tough underfoot conditions. 9 mph) provides quick maneuverability around the job site. 12-ply tires are standard with the heavy weight option. Hydrostatic pump provides oil to two hydrostatic motors mounted above the drive axles. Drive shafts connect the motors to the rear axles. A single propel lever located on the control console provides smooth hydrostatic control of the infinitely variable speeds in both forward and reverse. Speed (forward and reverse): Brakes Service brake features Closed-loop hydrostatic drive system provides dynamic braking during machine operation. Power is based on using 35° API gravity fuel having an LHV of 42, 780 kJ, kg (18, 390 Btu/lb) when used at 30°C (86°F) [ref. Net power advertised is the power available at the flywheel when the engine is equipped with fan, air cleaner, muffler and alternator. The following ratings apply at 2, 200 RPM when tested under the specified standard conditions for the specified standard: Net Power kW hp ISO 9249 72 96 SAE J1349 72 96 EEC80/1269 72 96 Dimensions Bore Stroke Displacement Spring-applied/hydraulically released disc brakes are actuated by a switch on the control console. They are also activated automatically if pressure is lost in the brake circuit or when the engine is shut off. Minimum turning radius: Frame Frame is fabricated from welded heavygauge steel plates. Frame design provides a calculated balance of wheel to weight ratio for even distribution of ballast weight. The clean, unitized design provides a flat deck for excellent operator mobility. The frame is designed for easy access to all major components. Instrumentation and Gauges The start switch, engine throttle switch, alternator indicator light, coolant temperature gauge, engine oil pressure gauge, hydraulic oil temperature gauge and hour meter are located on the instrument panel in front of the operator. Machine instrumentation and most controls are located at the operator's right on the control console. This includes the propel lever, speed selector switch, water system control, horn and secondary brake switch. System includes galvanized distribution bars over the front and rear tires and retractable nylon tire scrapers for each tire. A polyethylene water tank is located at the front of the machine on the operator's platform.
